All the talk about new armour and the implications thereof passed completely over the unarmoured knight's head, due to her lack of familiarity with Gillian other than knowing of his general existence somewhere in the roster. Yet the question--of how long it would take--was an easy one to answer: "Should the plan work as expected, as unlikely as that would be, or some other way to smoke out our quarry arises, then I expect we could be done within a day. Yet if we find ourselves hunting them down like rats... then there can be no guarantee of our time. Years were spent hunting down the remnants of the rebellion and they crawled out of it one way or the other."

Not wanting to be left entirely out of negotiations--or, privately, wanting to make sure that Fanilly's lessons had stuck outside of their original context--Lilianna spurred her horse forwards, drawing herself to the captain's side.
